4 stars First of all, it is a shame that Manduka is not mentioned here. He is in the album and he was an amazing musician. Second of all, I understand that the one of the reviewers did not like that album. I think it'd be hard for most non-Spanish/Portuguese native speakers to understand the lyrics, or the music itself (no offense!). It certainly isn't either Manduka's or Los Jaivas's best album, but it deserves more recognition. It's that famous quote do not judge what you don't understand. Again, do not interpret this as an insult. It's just that I think one has to at least have lived in South America for some time to truly understand some of its music. And appreciate its folk music, its indigenous music. It's something too different from prog rock like Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, or ELP. I'm not even sure I'd call it prog. It's kinda experimental, so if you like that kind of music, this is great. It sure makes me miss my homeland - Brazil. Great guitar playing, nice lyrics, lovely singing by Manduka. But, again, both Manduka and Los Jaivas have much better records.
